So Palmer, Foden, Saka. A better question is would Foden have the same effect in this Chelsea team
Look at him on the right. Just wow.
I remember when he was at Manchester City, Guardiola would often give him cameos on the left — and they would be relatively poor for him.
He is not ineffective, but he is limited. Maresca is doing the same with the left half spaces.
But despite this, he is STILL one of the best midfielders in the world. People don’t realise — but Palmer is playing to only 10% of his capabilities.
Whenever he gets into those right half spaces, you will see the best of him.
